Paul Wernick and His Wife, Rita Professional Feud

In mid-2019, when Columbia Pictures set to release their movie “Zombieland” on October 2, 2019, the exact date Disney/Pixar also placed to release “Toy Story 2,” which was co-written by Paul’s wife.

At other times this would be the clash of the two movies competing for attention at the box office, but in this case, it was a clash of the films by husband and wife.
